I read through this thread and I think maybe my miles per tank calculator needs to be re-calibrated? Ive tried entering all the irrelevant information that i have and I keep getting back vague numbers that make it impossible to compare the avg rate of fuel consumption of my current tank of gas with ...

leaking battery recently? I assume you are testing these relays. It can actually be hard to do bad relays can be unpredictable with temp changes and slight voltage changes. Could also be the contacts in the PDC. disassemble is possible and a pita but worth it. I had a coupe that were in poor shape f...

since you cannot verify the trans is good, there should at least be evidence on the rear cover (rtv etc) that is been apart for "rebuild". you should see a NEW TOB and NEW thick clutch, but its still a risk that it doesn't grind. you should be able to see the LSD if an axle shaft is out, in other wo...

16" is really sparse for finding wide high performance tires. You're really limited by the spring perch of the strut which puts you at about 24.5" max diameter tire, so 225/45/16 yields exactly 2 options from tirerack, and realistically i would not DD the r1r because of cost/wear. http://www.tirerac...

Re: a/c line
The line mechanically should be no big deal to change, just be sure to install new O rings when it's changed out. This is not really a job for the average home mechanic. Once the system has been open to the air, a vacuum needs to be pulled on the system before new R-134a is put in. The air in the s...

Edit #2: Will the SRT-4 stock 17" wheels fit under the spring perches of the SRT-4 ACR'S struts? ('cus the perches are lower). I ask because I may go look at an srt-4. They claim it's an ACR but the wheels in the pictures are stock 17" ones, not the BBS wheels. yes but not the 25" tall tire that ca...

pretty sure ALL SRT's FSB are 24mm. the acr RSB is 19mm vs 17 for the regular SRT. Really the only difference between the ACR is small diameter tires, regular neon strut dimensions, 19mm RSB, seats with harness cutouts, and the door badge that says ACR. of that list the seats are the only thing i wo...

Unless you stick some vertical pieces on the outside edge of the funnels. The need to stick out about 4" to be effective at 100+. interesting....

During the flush proceedure, drop the pan and filter and magnet and clean and replace it all. There's no other way. that was what i was meaning by and run it till it pumps "clean".

Re: Doing a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT tranny fluid flush & fil
1. Run the engine at idle with the ATX in Neutral with the cooler lines unhooked, so fluid comes out as I pour fresh fluid in. thats essentially how i flush the power steering. keep pouring until it comes out clean. What do you mean you haven't flushed your p/S yet? That should get the old fluid ou...
